Recently I have returned to Silver Spring from a trip to Latvia, traveling with a friend who was born there. My effort to find poetry with mathematics there was stymied by the fact that little Latvian literature has been translated into English.
The Latvian capital, Riga, is a charming city--and its cobblestone streets do not deter women from wearing elegant tall-heeled shoes. The sight of them reminded me of a little poem I wrote a few years ago--a square poem--which comments on this stylish sort of shoe (in which I've never been able to walk).
